I think our pitchers relaxed a little bit with a big lead. As soon as you relax, you're in trouble. |
No matter who we brought in, nobody could hold them or do the job. So we?re 4-5 [in conference play] right now. |
Norris has been opportunistic. Every time he pitches we score runs. |
That kid's a pretty good pitcher, I don't think he had his best stuff, but he battled today. He's one of the best in the conference and one of the best in the state, and he beat us today. |
Today nothing went right for us, and everything went right for Central Florida. |
We didn't pitch exceptionally well or smart today, but we hit. We hit and we played pretty good defense. |
We learned today [that] the game is never over. You can't relax at any time in this game. Today we did, and we were fortunate to win. |
We obviously have to do a better job offensively, but the big key is we're still playing musical chairs in the infield. We have to come up with some kind of a defensive infield. That's been our Achilles' heel. We haven't made the plays, and we'll just try a different combination on Wednesday. |
We've got a long way to go. Two-and-oh [in conference], you can't get real excited, but I'd rather be 2-0 than 0-2. |
We've got to win. We've probably got to go 8-1, but that's what we've got to do. |
When we brought guys in, I don't think anybody got a hit, and they did make a couple errors. |
When you've got the lead, you've got to pitch ahead; you've got to throw fastballs. You've got to put it down the middle of the plate and say, ?Hey, let's see how far you can hit it,' and we didn't. We were too cautious. |
